The rules on player numbers is going to cause some ****ups when defenses get in the wrong personnel package.

Mark my words, some dipshit is going to mistake a WR wearing 40 for a FB and it will be 6.

I'm pretty sure most if not all NFL players can distinguish between colors.

Read the post again and try to understand.

Yeah I'm totally lost on this take. I'm pretty sure by the time the regular season rolls around the receivers can all have the same number and the starting QB will still know which guys he wants to prioritize in his first two reads.

Whoever's calling the package on defense mistakes a WR for a FB because of his number.

Might be even worse if offenses try to take advantage and line the WR up in the backfield.

so buy buy any pass backs on last second chances... basically you cant lateral backwards if you are behind the line of scrimmage.

So you cant check down on a flea flicker?

They're talking about the play where Brady threw a pass, it was batted back to him and then he threw it again.

There was a penalty, but all that mean was it was 3 & 15 instead of 3&5.

LA wanted to be certain if something like that happened again, it was a 10 yard penalty and loss of down, just like intentional grounding.

This is probably the real reason Alex Smith retired.
You know, tragedy + time = humor. Is it too soon?

Why do you say that?

Well ****, I came here to make this same ****ing joke. You stole it.

This is a Tom Brady rule. He caught his own deflected pass and slung it to make it fourth down. The Rams declined the penalty to get it to fourth down. The pass counted. Now you can accept the penalty and the pass won't count.

Got it.

Still dunno if I agree that'll be a thing. Does it happen in college?

So an onside attempt is now a 9 on 11 situation?

In 2021, the receiving team on kickoffs will be limited to nine players within 25 yards of the ball

More like 9 on 10 since can't really count the kicker.
